Excellent service. Truly fabulous 'Halibut with Raspberry-shallot Butter over Watercress, and a Lava Cake with intense chocolate flavor that is to die for. Prevalent but not obnoxious Tuscan theme.…

As my first meal in Anchorage, Orso did not disappoint. While not perfect, I found the service to be gracious and my water was always filled (granted I went there for lunch at 12 on a Saturday). The…

The food is good, but not fantastic. Depending on your palate will determine just how exciting your meal is. Their fish is much better than much else. There are options for pretty much everyone,…

5 stars because this restaurant attracts all the Californians and Texans. I am a Californian by birth and sometimes I cant even stand myself. I couldn't imagine being an Alaskan (not that anyone in…

I can't stand people who give places like this a terrible review so it doesn't show up as one of the top places in the area. Thankfully, my family lives in Anchorage so they were able to tell me how…

We had a horrible evening here, start to finish. Our server completely lost interest in us once we declined to order drinks. Our food was dry and overcooked. The attitude of the staff was beyond…

The decor is excellent, as are the wait staff. Unfortunately the food leaves something to be desired, as does the beer which is from the "Glacier Brewhouse", with which "Orso" is apparently affiliated. If you...

3 stars by SF/NYC standard, 5 stars by Anchorage standard. One of the better places for a meal around downtown Anchorage. However, during our visit, the shrimp was overcooked, the fish tasted like it…

We all have fond memories of a meal so spectacular that its aroma and flavors remain with us years after we enjoyed it. My all-time favorite was consumed in St. Gertrud's Kloster in Copenhagen, but I…
